Producer Story

Alambique Serrano: Inside the Oaxacan Distillery Making High-Ester Rum

Alambique Serrano: Oaxacan Rum from the Krassel Family

Alambique Serrano is a rum producer in Oaxaca, Mexico, a state better known for mezcal. The Krassel family makes it in Santa María Tlalixtac, and Rommel Krassel is one of the family members behind it. "Alambique" is the Spanish word for a pot still, and "serrano" means "of the mountains."

The Bottles on Our Shelf

Alambique Serrano Single Cask #32 — $90

Single cask means the rum in the bottle comes from one cask rather than a blend of several.

Alambique Serrano Altos Esteres — $95

"Altos esteres" translates to "high esters." Esters are aromatic compounds that form during fermentation and distillation, and the name signals a style that puts them up front. If you like the funkier end of rum, this is the bottle to ask about.

We have also listed other Alambique Serrano bottlings on our site, including a Blend #11 "Besadiablos" and a "3 Anos" Single Cask; stock changes, so check the shop for what is on the shelf.
